Spicy Lobster Recipes

As I mentioned yesterday, we had a dinner guest the other evening. He lived in Japan for 20 years and now he's back to the US. We've met several times in the past and I remembered his love for seafood, so I promised him a special feast the next time he came to visit.

I wanted to prepare a special dish with luxurious flavors. so I served out-of-this-world lobster tails in spicy broth.

Lobster tails were pan-fried first, then sautéed in Chinese chives, Thai basil leaves and garlic and then dipped in a spicy lobster broth.

If you're ever attended an Asian wedding, you've probably witnessed all the seafood dishes at the occasion. Since Chinese New Year is coming up very soon, I wanted to share with you a festive dish that you could prepare. I added my own twist since my home is so multicultural. My husband Lulu's family is from India, so I prepared a garam masala-flavored dry gravy to flavor luxurious lobster tails.

Lobster tails were deep-fried first, then sauteed in a black bean garlic sauce and a generous amount of ginger and garam masala. This finger-licking-good seafood dish was meant to be eaten with a large crowd, but since the beginning of this year, baby Aria and I are the last ones who are not vegetarian, so I called my cousins to join in the fun!
